Yes.  If you squint just right.  One might say 1.89 types if you allow 
.8 for arrays and .09 for the result of arithmetic.  (And there are a 
few times when there is a critical distinction between a reference 
expression to an object and a string that refers to the object.)

I have suggested ways to integrate arrays and numbers into a pure 
scheme of strings, but those suggestions met with blank stares, so I 
think that kind of thing may not be right for Transcript, or  I'm poor 
at explaining things, or (most likely) both.
